Coping profiles common to older African American cancer survivors: relationships with quality of life.
Article in Journal of pain and symptom management, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
contextCancer survivors use distinct sets of coping behaviors that vary in their associations with psychological health and quality of life. However, existing research has largely focused on Caucasian and middle-class subjects.
objectivesThis study explores whether clusters with differing coping profiles could be identified among older African American cancer survivors and whether these profiles varied on cultural factors and physical, psychological, and relationship well-being.
methodsFour hundred forty-nine older African American cancer survivors recruited from outpatient oncology clinics completed a questionnaire booklet containing the Ways of Helping Questionnaire (WHQ), the Brief Index of Race-Related Stress, the Religious Involvement Scale, Mutuality Scale, and the Short Form-12 Health Survey Questionnaire. A k-means cluster analysis was conducted using the WHQ.
resultsFour distinct coping profiles were identified and labeled as high coping, low encouraging healthy behaviors, low coping, and strong/distracting behaviors. Coping profiles were associated with participant's gender, age, and living-alone status. Controlling for these demographic differences, the coping profiles were associated with religiosity; experiences with racism; and physical, psychological, and relationship well-being.
conclusionsThe findings from this study lend support for examining coping profiles and health outcomes among African American cancer survivors. This research also suggests that these profiles vary on cultural factors. This information should prove useful to researchers as they develop culturally appropriate interventions for this underserved population.
